The GC is legal by rule 9-4: "Players may possess Genechips or  
exchange them with other Players."

Also, until recently, r10-3 contained the text "A player may give a  
Household Object e holds to another entity if and only if both  
entities agree to the trade or the rules specifically permit it."  
Your torch transfer may have been legal under that.

From the page, hit "Get Info". There are three categories of Info,  
the first of which is Revision History. The second is pretty boring,  
and third shows errors because I didn't install the code for hit  
tracking.

Older revision can be reached with "Get Info", but we really should  
put all game documents in a big honkin' database like we used to.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the  
process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure  
scientific mind.
